Senior Human Resources Manager

Up to $180K + Super | South West Sydney | Full-Time | Onsite Parking

Step into a hands-on HR leadership role within a large, fast-paced, and highly operational business where no two days look the same.
Join a well-established and continuously growing  family-run organisation who operate nationally within the transport and logistics sector and play a critical role in Australia’s food supply chain. With over 1300 employees across 19 branches, the environment is down-to-earth and fast-moving. There will be a strong focus on practicality, adaptability, and a “get it done” mindset. 
As the HR lead, you’ll be supported by a HR team and have a comprehensive hand over period  from a highly experienced HR consultant who has worked with the business for many years. This is a true generalist role with a strong focus on employee relations, coaching leaders, and keeping the HR function running effectively day-to-day. We are looking for a HR professional who is confident, credible and capable, with a strong focus on compliance.

Key Responsibilities

  • Managing employee relations, performance, and disciplinary matters
  • Leading Fair Work cases, including unfair dismissal matters
  • Award interpretation 
  • Supporting Enterprise Agreement (EA) management
  • Coaching and guiding managers across multiple sites
  • Driving consistency across HR processes and policies
  • Supporting workforce planning activities
  • Building strong relationships with leadership and site teams
  • Occasional travel to sites nationally

What We’re Looking For

This role will suit someone who:

  • Has strong ER/IR experience 
  • Has experience with Awards and Enterprise Agreements
  • Is confident, practical, and solutions-focused
  • Can operate in a non-corporate, family-run environment
  • Is flexible resilient, and a willing to be hands on in day-to-day HR
  • Communicates well across all levels—from site staff to senior leadership

The Environment

  • 5 days in office 
  • 8:00am – 5:00pm
  • Open-plan, collaborative team
  • Fast-paced, operational setting

Why This Role?

  • Genuine opportunity to own and shape the HR function
  • Step into a business where HR is valued and visible
  • Broad, hands-on exposure across all aspects of HR
  • Work closely with leadership and influence real change

 
If you’re an experienced HR professional looking for a role where you can make a tangible impact and be part of a growing business, apply now or reach out for a confidential discussion.
